THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT | Concept Redesign

Taylor Swift's 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department dives into the lives of victorian women who refused to adopt wholesale the codes and conventions of the male poetic tradition.

More about the concept under the cut

Theodore Turner, Thomas Bennet, Paul Wright and David Morgan founded TTPD in 1835 in New York with the hopes of making their way through the world of literature. 20 years later they found themselves being the most prolific publishing house in the city with acclaimed poems and short stories becoming an undeniable force among their female readers. No one could believe four men around the age of 30 could understand the nuances of love, heartbreak, loss and hopelessness as well as they did. But not every story has a happy ending. While the four gentleman became history and their names were positioned next to the biggest names of american poetry of the 19th century there's something that lies beneath that chronicle.

35 Women were the backbone of TTPD writing everything from poems, short stories and even clever and witty jokes that were quite hard for victorian men to grasp. While relegated to the back of the building they tried to fought for their space in the poetry world. Each publication was signed with the initials TTPD and while common readers could interpret that as the well known acronym of the company's founders they believed leaving their own trace would mean something to future writers and women across the country.

The Tortured Poets Department was born out of anger and spite yet kept going for so many years, until the company closed, because the shared love for poetry and expressing and seeing the world in a different way was cathartic for 35 women who from a young age were told to get married fast and not intefere in gentlemen's business.

This album shines a light on those women who died thinking their efforts to become someone were useless. The Tortured Poets Department dives into lives of 35 victorian women who refused to adopt wholesale the codes and conventions of the male poetic tradition and recounts the story as it should've been told in the first place.

The audacity of well established bands to only sell merch for their most recent album. You bastards, you fiends, your peak popularity was in 2007, sell me a tshirt with old album art for the love of god.

Time To Share Another Song not on the Album - “The whole being thing part 3”!

This Is One That I Actually Always Forget Isn’t On The Album, and I find That Very Surprising

#beetlejuice #beetlejuice musical #beetlejuice the musical #bjtmtmtm #the maitlands #adam maitland #barbara maitland #alex brightman #beetlejuice broadway #but I also truly don’t understand why this isn’t on the album #I’m 99 it’s called the whole being dead thing part 3 #I really love this song like the others #correct me if I’m wrong #PLEASE WHY ISNT IT #musicals #broadway #reprise

[kvothes]

i want to add a caveat to this: he’s specifically talking about published, professional, forward-facing poetry—poetry as an industry—the type of stuff that is presented to the world as an art form. not necessarily poetry as personal self-expression or therapy (which richard siken was also just talking about).

with that out of the way…timmy was really cooking here lol.

#i respect poetry TREMENDOUSLY as an art form and what this means to me is that i have standards #now. if i was in my friend’s house and they pulled out a guitar to play me a song #i absolutely would not judge them the same way i would judge an album from a musician with a label #so please please understand that i am not taking shots at personal notes app poetry #in general i don’t much care for timothy green but. even so #mine #poetry

Listen ofc all of the Unreal Unearth songs are amazing because it's Hozier we're talking about but holy fuck-

Personally the song in this album that smacked me across the face at first was Abstract (Psychopomp), and I can't believe more people are not going feral over it like I am, look-

H U H

I saw you perform this ultimately fruitless yet incredibly significant, humane and selfless act of kindness. You put your own life at risk for something others would have considered "too small". I saw you run into moving traffic, stain your own hands, just to offer a little comfort to this poor animal in its dying moments. I was terrified, I knew I had no choice but to love you.

#i think the whole idea of the push and pull of life and death is very present through the album but the 'i will fight to get to live this #one life' hits me so so hard #the idea of springing into movement for something so much smaller than you but with so much value #the idea of both the savior's and the animal's eyes shining with anguished tears #its insane #also look into the phsychopomp mythological context it's interesting #hozier #andrew hozier byrne #unreal unearth #text #that unstoppable surge of emotions to give all life the value it deserves #PLEASE add your thoughts kn the tags or comment's I'd love to hear them #ALSO!! i Believe that lyrically this song is simpler than his usual work and that shows a new kind of genious #im wordless again

I can’t believe that there were/are mania haters like how can you hate an album that gave us hits like stay frosty royal milk tea and last of the real ones and hold me tight or don’t and Wilson (expensive mistake) and church and heaven’s gate and champion and sunshine riptide and young and menace and bishops knife trick??

#fall out boy #fob #Pete wentz #patrick stump #Andy Hurley #joe trohman #guess who listened to mania on the drive home #you mean to tell me you listened to patrick say ‘you said please don’t ever change but you don’t like me the way I am’ #and weren’t like oh man oh fuck #it’s a no skips album your honor #so many good lyrics
